Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1954 volume:

SENIOR CLASS of DE SALES HIGH SCHOOL GENEVA, N. Y. presents . . . 1 Sale iau We dedicate the Salosian to Sister Bernard who, by her unfaltering devotion to God and learning through her many years at De Sales, has been an inspiration to us as she deepened in us a knowledge of God and of the wonders of His universe. DEDICATION ( 4 ) FOREWORD We, the Senior Class of 1954, have chosen “Stairway to 7 J Heaven as the theme of our Salesian. We have selected this theme because we believe that our every action influences our destiny leading us closer to God or farther away from Him. Since we are Christians and as such our lives are ruled by Christian principles, it is obvious that our goal is Heaven. To attain this goal we must, guided by Catholic education, guard our every action so that by careful living we may gradually ascend the “Stairway to Heaven.” ( 5 ) Underclassmen and Curriculum........... 15-36 CONTENTS Page Administration and Faculty 7-14 Seniors 37-62 63-98 Patrons 99-102 Activities ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”—Henry Adams. ( 7 ) THF. MOST REVEREND JAMES E. KEARNEY, D.D. Bishop of Rochester Whenever we meet our Bishop Kearney, we are re- minded of the phrase with which he signs himself, “Your devoted shepherd in Christ. We feel that he is indeed our devoted shepherd, and as a wise and kind shepherd he has guided our steps as we go up the “Stairway to Heaven. He has constantly encouraged us to strive for perfection in our studies and in our lives. We hope we shall never dis- appoint him. The class of 1954 deeply appreciate his service to Catholic education, in general, 'and to De Sales in particular. ( 8 ) THE MOST REVEREND LAWRENCE B. CASEY. D.D. Auxiliary Bishop to the Rochester Diocese While we have not yet had the opportunity of meeting Bishop Casey, we would be happy to greet His Excellency. We feel, however, that his prayers are helping us keep steadily climbing the “Stairway to Heaven.” Whether or not the class of 1954 is here to welcome him when he comes to l)e Sales, we want him to know that the doors of De Sales High School will always be open to Bishop Casey. ( 9 ) DR. JOSEPH L. IIOGAN, S.T.D. Getting to know yon as our principal has been a most delightful experience for the Class of 1954 as we have continued to climb the “Stairway to Heaven.” As the months passed, we found you to be not only an approachable principal and splendid teacher hut a true friend, ready to help us when we needed you. Al- though we are now leaving De Sales, we know that, wherever we may be, we will always have your inspiring guidance to help us. ( 10 ) REVEREND RAYMOND P. NOLAN After fourteen years as principal of De Sales, Father Nolan has left us to become pastor of St. Stephen's Church. Those of us who know him well will never forget his friendly advice and fatherly attitude as he constantly reminded us that Heaven is our goal and that De Sales is only one big step on the “Stairway to Heaven.” Through h is efforts, a new and greater De Sales has been erected, and it will always stand as a personal monument to his selfless interest in the youth of Geneva. Time can never alter the feeling of gratitude that we have for him. ( 11 ) REVEREND EDWARD K. BALL In our very early days Father Ball helped us up onto the first “step.” In order that each one of us might have a firm foothold, he taught us to cling to the bannister of grace. Many a time his instructions have kept us from stum- bling as we climbed. His understanding, his goodness, his fine sense of wit have endeared him to the hearts of students. We can only hope that he will be good enough to keep us in his heart and prayers for a long while after 1954. MONSIGNOR CHARLES J. MAHONEY No story of De Sales as our “Stairway to Heaven would be complete without a wonl of tribute to Monsignor Mahoney. As Diocesan Superintendent of Schools, he has wisely and capably directed our high school years. ( 12 ) Reverend Walter J. Carbon Reverend John V. Loughlin Reverend William J.

In the past four years the Faculty of lie Sales have been patient and understanding with us, and we thank them Irom the bottom of our hearts. They have enabled us through their example and advice to become better Catholics. As teachers they are well qualified, hut they have given us more than training of the mind; they have trained our souls by teach- ing us to live Christ-like lives. They have showed us how to be strong by presenting us with the truth and by building in us a great love for Our Lord. The Class of ’54 will always he deeply indebted to the Faculty, and we want them to know that they have been a wonderful help to us as we climb the “Stairway to Heaven.” ( 14 ) UNDERCLASSMEN ♦ CURRICULUM “Knowledge advances by steps and nut by leaps.”—Macaulay.

'I his class emphasizes the importance of Christian princi- ples in the economic world. By learning to live with justice and charity in their dealings with others, freshmen are able to climb further on the “Stairway to Heaven.” The freshmen stand on the first step of the stairway to knowledge which ultimately leads to Heaven. They, through religion, their most im- portant subject, learn the fundamentals which will eventually guide them to their destination. God. All freshmen do not seek knowledge through the same medium. Some may choose a business course; others, the academic; but no matter which they choose, their goal remains the same. Through algebra, an academic subject, they be- gin to learn the abstract truths necessary in lay- ing the foundation of higher mathematics. Through introduction to business they learn the basic principles of business which will become increasingly important in future years. Later they will appreciate more and more the opportunities afforded them through a knowledge of Latin. First year Latin emphasizes vocabulary, and the roots learned there are an invaluable aid in life because such a large per- centage of the words in our English language is derived from Latin. Hence Latin becomes a step towards good English. However, we must remem- ber that English is not excluded from the fresh- men curriculum. Freshman English affords the Food Fundamentals The General Science class learns the basic steps in testing foods for chemi- cals necessary in the body.

Robert La Fleur, (standing), James How- ell and Carol Meehan agree. General Science introduces the freshmen to the mysteries of the world around them. It awakens in them a new’ interest in the wonders of God’s creation. Through knowledge of His handiworks, they are brought closer to God Himself. So we see that freshman subjects embrace all fields from elementary science and mathe- matics to basic English and Latin because Cath- olic education aims to develop man’s memory, understanding, will and emotions as well as his body. right) Dolores Sheils, William Lee, Robert Coblio, Vincent Natelli, Jean Ann Cosgrove, Shirley Rennyson, Ar- lene Camevale and David Kayes.

By systematically teaching the found- ations from which our modern world has sprung. World History points out the triumphs of virtue over evil and cor- ruption. To reach the top of our stairway to Heaven, it is helpful to remember that we have here no lasting abode. Through English II characters with all their faults and virtues come alive. In Silas Marner, for example, the main character triumphs over his selfish hatred and finally sees the light of love which illuminates the stairway to Heaven just as Gordon in The Outlaws of Ravenhurst, be- cause of his love of the faith, shows great courage in endur- ing hardships. (Continued on next page) As our sophomores continue the climb up the stairway to Heaven, they find themselves surrounded by subjects which seem far beyond their grasp. This year introduces the sopho- mores to a modern lanugage. either French or Spanish. These can he very difficult to comprehend. However, this difficulty is lessened by a knowledge of Latin from which all Romance languages are derived. Thus the clas- sical and the modern tastes in lan- guages are provided for in the sopho- more curriculum. Perhaps the most difficult subject that the sophomores undertake is geometry. Although they may not realize it at the time, geometry will aid them in future years in solving Kathleen DeWitt prepare newly-pur- chased books for circulation in English II classes. Picture at right—• History, the Handmaid of Culture Joan Lawson, Ann Smead and Barbara Scott show to class, works of art de- picting knowledge gleaned by sopho- mores in World History class. The most enlightening step of the sophomores’ stair- ease is religion. This subject makes the sophomores aware of the importance of the Com- mandments of God ami shows how to carry them out. Thus, by overcoming the difficulties met in sophomore subjects and by realizing that life is a series of decisions, sophomores mount many steps on the “Stairway to Heaven.” Tic Tac Toe Three correct demonstrative pronouns in a row win this game of tic tac toe for Lawrence Ma- honey and Anthony D'Amico if the opposing players.

( 32 ) Stnictea xt t e “Stavuvoy fo coven’ As we reach our Junior year, we find our- selves “upperclassmen.” At last we have reached the dignified heights which all students strive to attain. By this time we fully realize that the stairway to Heaven is the most important one we shall ever tread. However, it is not easy to keep on this stair- way. We must be constantly regulating our wills and training our minds. This training is accom- plished through Intermediate Algebra which tends to develop in the student the faculty for quick thinking and accuracy. Accuracy of mind ultimately leads to truth which acts as a light shining to show us the way up the stairway to Heaven. The idea of the “lamp of truth” is further carried out in our English III class. In this class emphasis is placed on biographies such as “The Story of My Life” by Helen Keller and “Miracle at Carville” by Betty Martin, in which are illus- trated the real experiences and difficulties en- countered in climbing the “Stairway to Heaven.” The works of heaven are apparent in any study of nature. This is especially true of biology which without a doubt reveals the Hand of God. Thus in learning biology we become familiar with God and reach new heights on the “Stair- way to Heaven” through the knowledge of eternal truths.

( 34 ) in us by the study of Church History which shows the steps taken by the Church in the past and awakens in us the realization that the Church offers us the divine means to ascend the Stairway to Heaven Besides Church History, Juniors learn American History. This subject serves as an example, clearly show ing man's struggle for freedom and truth. Early Americans fully realized the necessity of acting according to principle. Now it is up to us to live these principles in climbing the celestial stairs. By the time they have reached the second step on the stairway of modern languages, the Juniors have more than a passing knowledge of French or Spanish. However, some prefer Latin to a modern language. Through the orations of Cicero studied in Latin III. junior scholars learn that the same stumbling blocks of vice and corruption lay on the Stairway to Heaven in Ancient Rome as those which beset us here today. It is clear that the subjects selected by the juniors demonstrate the necessity of truth and the ultimate failure of fallacy and vice. By following the truths set forth we are assured not only of keeping on the stairway to Heaven but of ascending it.

(fattutue Succe ciC glutti As we, the Seniors, look hack over our three previous years in high school, we realize how steep our Stairway to Heaven seemed to us as fresh- men and what our Catholic education did to aid us in our climb. In our final year we found ourselves taking diversified courses accord- ing to what wc were planning on doing after our graduation. Although this was the case. English and apologetics were common to all. English took on a new meaning after an unforgettable assembly w ith Brother Schuster. Be- cause of his inspiring talk on Catholic books, we each took an added inter- est in the literature we were reading. Our stairw ay to Heaven became more vivid to us as we read of the trials of Bernadette in Song of Bernadette and the wonders wrought by our Lady in the Ballad of the White Horse. We all agreed that English IV had set us firmly on another step in our Stairway to Heaven. Chemistry was one of the extra subjects many of us chose in order to complete a science major. Through this most valuable science we became better acquainted with the unseen elements of our atmosphere and more appreciative of God's creations. Tying in with all our subjects was the most important, apologetics. Be- cause of it we, the Seniors, will he able to enter the world with a secure knowledge of the divine foundation of the Roman Catholic Church, and this will aid others in climbing the Stairway to Heaven which must he for each of us our foremost goal in life.

( 59 ) ScHUVM Step, Many students, who are not go- ing to continue their education, have availed themselves of the business course which fits them for a position after graduation. The efficient use of the dictaphone, adding machine, dup- licator and ditto machine increases the worth of the individual to the em- ployer. Then, for those who wish to work with figures, there are business arithmetic and bookkeeping, both of which demand accuracy. Of course typing is a must in a business office today, and for those who are planning on buying and selling there is the very practical course of retailing. These subjects give the student the training he needs to become a de- pendable, courteous,efficient Christian young man or woman, and in this way enable him to advance on the stairway to Heaven. Efficient Secretary Alice Toombs has learned that accuracy and good form are most important in Sister A |uilina’s classes.

( 64 ) 7« $6406 “TfavUf In this Marian Year, the Sodality of Our Lady, a religious hody which aims at fostering in its members an ardent devotion, reverence and filial love toward the Blessed Virgin Mary, is striving to deepen devotion to Mary in the hearts of its members. We, as Sodalists. believe that through this devotion we are enabled to ascend and to help others ascend the stairway to Heaven. Thus, through a true knowledge and love of the Blessed Mother and with her guid- ance, we are better equipped to sanctify our- selves and others. Ascending this stairway is not an easy task. To help us in this climb, our Sodality has been broken up into units whereby each individual gets a greater amount of attention and whereby the discussion of the problems of each individual contributes to the betterment of the whole group. Also in conjunction with climbing the golden stairs to sanctity anil to heaven, the Sodality was privileged to have as a speaker the Rev. Daniel E. Lord, S.J. Through his talk urging frequent Mass and Holy Communion. Father Lord drew us closer to Jesus and Marv. Fired by his enthu- siasm, we were eager to share our spiritual treas- ure with others. In carrying this out, our Sodality has be- come a member of the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade. Through our contributions, both spirit- ual and monetary, we are striving to spread the Faith and keep it alive. In these ways the Sodality at De Sales is accomplishing the observance of the Sodality way of life. Thus our motto “To Jesus through Mary” becomes alive. Ad Jesum Per Mariam Father John Murphy looks on as Father Hogan bestows the medal of Our Lady on Mary Alice Lynch, Joan Law- son, Eileen McWilliams, Jo- anne Dejolin, Kathryn Nolan, Janice Acquilano, Eugenia Adkinson and Constance Wy- att who promise to follow the Sodality way of life. On the feast of the Immaculate Conception after evening Mass, we joyously greeted the new’ Sodalists who hy their very dedication to Our Lady indicated their willingness to defend the faith as well as to contribute to its propagation.

Hooks are an essential part of school equipment anywhere, but at De Sales they form the non-skid treads on the stairway to Heaven. The Club under the able direction of Sister M. Clementia is not a social one hut an organization whose members see to it that the library and hooks in it receive good care. The members try to stimulate interest in valu- able reading by giving hook reviews, presenting plays “Noel, Noel” New members David Maslyn.

Stant at From the first day of school till the night of their reception, D.H.S. freshmen had no peace. They were the lowliest of the lowly, and only the mighty seniors had the powrer of changing their status. Things were made deliberately hard for the freshmen and as the reception day neared mat- ters grew even worse. The climax was reached when, two days before the reception, a dummy representing the proverbial Frosh was strung up on the flagpole to the tune of hen Day is Done.-’ Needless to say, the seniors were the pall- bearers. Finally the night of the reception came, and after being laughed at and made to look as young as they really are, our babies, the class of 1958, officially became members of the school.

Going into the first league game, De Sales suffered their second loss, 13-0 at the hands of a powerful aterloo team, but much improvement was seen in the De Sales eleven. In the. third game against Clyde “Kevin Lawlor, a determined and spirited runner, went wide around his left end for the first De Sales score in three starts,” but De Sales was on the losing end of a 21-6 score. After losing their first three games, De Sales went on to win their next four out of five, show- ing that they could, through prayer and hard work climb the steps to football glory.

An undefeated Myn- derse team halted the De Sales Saints by a score of 32-0. In the final game of the season the Saints added another victory to their record by trip- ping Penn Yan 19-7 to make the record of the season stand at four wins and four defeats.

There was an air of suspense throughout the entire day until Dr. Hogan crowned Helen Can- nuli and Bernard DiDuro queen and king of Mission Day. The queen and king were chosen by popular vote.

Manfully facing defeat, they developed a fine character. The Saints opened their hoop season with a victory over Ovid, winning by a score of 41 to 37. Going into the league opener, Joe Jenkins racked up 21 points for the Saints in a losing cause as the Newark squad dropped De Sales 57 to 46. Canandaigua handed the Saints their sec- ond league loss, 71 to 39. Waterloo subdued De Sales 48 to 46 in a heartbreaker on the home court. De Sales traveled to Lyons for their fourth loss at the hands of the league leaders— 74 to 33. De Sales stepped back into the winner’s circle by conquering Ovid 60 to 45. In the tradi- tional cross-street rivalry, the Saints went down to Geneva High 45 to 41 after the Saints were at the top of the ladder at the half. 18 to 16. Mynderse next scored a methodical 56 to 44 vic- tory over De Sales with Jim Salone scoring 14 points for the Saints. De Sales dropped to the bottom step of the league, losing to Penn Yan, 63 to 43. On Jan- uary 26, Aquinas, with an 18 game win skein, journeyed to De Sales and scored a 42 to 26 victory over the Saints. Going back into league play, a strong Newark five defeated the Saints, 87 to 43. De Sales bowed to Canandaigua. 62 to 41 in their second encounter. After the Saints held even to the half, they faltered in the second half as Waterloo tipped them, 63 to 46.

They do this in many ways — selling tickets, caring for the physical properties of the gymnasium, arrang- ing for the purchase of equipment, counting and rolling money, taking tickets at games, chartering buses, etc. The Association has done fine work this year and it is hoped that next year we will see it grow.

Each victory has brought them a step closer to the very top, the League-crown. Unfortunately our team has not this sea- son reached the summit of their goal; however, through their fighting spirit and the hard work of their coach, Mrs. Mildred Klenen, they retained second place in the final standings at the Y.M.C.A. Girls Basketball League. In addition to this, the team won a hard-fought 28-27 victory over Alpha, to win the coveted trophy awarded to the play-off champions. It w’ould he hard to single out any one player as the determining factor of our success. For our triumph was a team triumph and on our squad there were no stars. Teamwork, a spirit of good fun and general all around average talent have been the contributing factors in our rise to new heights. We, Seniors, regretfully say good- bye to the team, the coach and the undying spirit which has guided us on the stairway to success.

Her sorrow and need touched Ethan's heart. She needed the money he had saved; to her he gave it. Later that evening he granted shelter in a cave to a couple turned from the inn. Even as he watched the flock that night with the other shepherds, he was the one to go in search of a lost lamb. It was only at dawn the next day that he realized how God had accepted his desires and because of his great love had permitted Ethan to look upon Love Itself and hold Him in his arms. 0 Come Let Us Adore Him The women and shepherds near Bethlehem come to adore the new born King. “Twas the Birthday of a King” It’s Good to Be Home Amruh (Alice Toombs) greet� her mother, Rachel!

( 82 ) Senior “ScUi Silwi “SctU Highlighting our last year was our Senior Ball, “Silver Bells.” On the 28th of December the gym- nasium was transformed into a huge red and white hell from the top of which was suspended a shim- mering silver drop as background for Joe Man- zone's orchestra. To delightful strains of dreamy music Seniors and underclassmen in lovely attire danced with joy, passing often on the one side the snow-covered Christmas Crib with its tiny blue lights and on the other side the angel amidst stars that twinkled and faded. Both the Crib and the Angel reminded us that even a dance can help us ascend the Stairway to Heaven if we hut offer up our actions. Many of our parents, changing partners with the younger couples, danced with their own sons and daughters. During the fast numbers many of us stood in ad- miration, noting the grace and skill of tin dancers. I don't think that any of us who attended the Senior Ball will ever forget it, and as we climb up- ward on the “Stairway to Heaven we shall remem- ber this as the greatest social event in our last year.

SfrxiK tuKC Silhouette On a sultry May evening the Class of 1951 held its first important social event, the first hig social step on the stairway to heaven. And in- deed that night we were about as close to heaven as it is possible for mortals to he. The gym was decorated in striking yellow and royal purple, and the dancing couples added to the atmosphere the final touch that was needed to carry out the theme of “Springtime Silhou- ette. ’ For, what could he more suggestive of springtime than couples gaily dressed, dancing or merely walking among the rose twined trel- lises or lingering by the silver pool? The magic touch was lent by the dreamy music of Hal Baker’s orchestra. The dancers gave proof of the “magic” of it hv dancing as if under a spell. The dancing lasted until at 12 o'clock the most magic moment of all finally came. The queen of the Juniors was chosen. Catherine Plunkett became “Queen for a Night and no Lovely to Look At Richard Westfall admires Virginia as she seems pleased with the flowers.

This annual tradition took on a more solemn atmosphere last year when unlike previous years May Day ceremonies were held in the sanctuary of the Church. It seemed as if we almost had ascended our Stairway to Heaven as each one in the Living Rosary expressed his true love and devotion for God and His mother through the “Our Fathers” and Hail Marys.” With the conclusion of the greatest of Mary’s prayers, the more solemn part of the ceremony began when the crown w’as placed on Sheila Donahue whom we had chosen as our queen. This crown rested on her head for only a few moments, however. Then, Sheila, re- moving it, crowned Our Lady. At this moment we all lifted our hearts to Mary as Sheila read an act of consecration, for we knew full well that Our Blessed Mother is the best guide for each of us on the Stairway to Heaven. Our beautiful ceremony concluded with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

The play deals with the trials and tribula- tions of the typical teenager. The plot is centered around the McIntyre family: an aging, absent- minded professor-type father; a warm, under- standing mother ; Terry, a fifteen year old tom- boy; and George, the typical teen-age boy. The action really starts when Prudence Dar- ling. a sophisticated snob, moves next-door to Brian, Terry's “special pal,” and succeeds in stir- ring up a romantic dilemma at the outset of which Terry finds herself growing up, and George realizes fully the wiles of women. During the process of her vamping. Pru- dence becomes the ideal of the neighborhood hoys while neighborhood girls attempt to win them back. The entanglements of teen-age emo- tions provide very funny and novel entertain- ment and as the play ends George, the now worldly-wise young man. realizes that he is still prone to fall for a pretty face.

With this honor came the respon- sibility of planning and producing a year- book. Our first problem was a monetary one. Early in September we launched our patron drive. For the first time in D.H.S. history, the Seniors, unassisted by the underclassmen — solicited the patrons and carried the drive “over the top.” The staff was chosen and went to work with an amazingly peppy spirit. We’ll never forget the fun we had planning Johnny Rcb” our first dummy. At that point “to bleed or not to bleed” was the question. By the end of Felmiary the final paste-up was begun and the staff found themselves immersed in rubber cement. They pasted to the clanking of the papercutter which was by then a familiar sound in the Salesian room. The members of the caption, large write- (Left to righti Nancy Talbert, Robert Balsley, Mary Dugan and Caro- lyn Dimmick search for new ideas for picture titles. up and Senior write-up committees were busily engaged in de- scribing the priceless moments captured by the lens of Mr. Adams' quick camera. Then it was all up to the typists whose flying fingers worked right up until the deadline to insure us a complete yearbook. By March 13, it was all over and our book took its last trip to the printers. We all agreed that it was well worth the time and effort that we devoted to it. ( 94 ) We Have a Secret!

We remember our fear of the mighty Seniors am! our Freshman Reception, the last one at St. Francis Do Sales Grammar School. We remem- ber our difficulty getting used to high school life and the pleasure we had in making new friends. Then there were our first football and basket- ball games, followed by dancing so there was no choice; freshmen must learn to dance. May Day and our trip to Roseland highlighted a perfeet year. As sophomores, diversions from study were few, but we do remember our roller skating party, and for some there was the first formal. Almost as quickly sped our junior year which we will always fondly recall because of our junior Prom. Now as our Senior Year draws to a close, we look hack upon the fond memories which high school life has given us—the fun we had as a class at our senior parties — getting ac- quainted with our new Principal, our last retreat —working on our yearbook which for us will always be our book of memories. Serious studies, clean sports and innocent fun—all for love of God have speeded our steps on the Stairway to Heaven. Caught Unaware— Sister Bernard and Nancy Talbert An Ideal Seventh Period We also remember JOSEPH TOCCO, who by his friendliness, courtesy and gentle humor endeared himself to us when we were but lowly freshmen and he was a senior. Sacrificing his life for his country in Korea has enabled Joseph to reach the top of the Stairway to Heaven.
